A friend knocked on Raudha’s dorm room door early in the afternoon, but she got no response.

She managed to peep through the gap between the double door. What she saw inside sent her screaming down the hallway, attracting the attention of the other girls.

Raudha’s door was open in no time. Then the police arrived.

Raudha Athif was famously known as the Maldivian girl with the blue eyes.

She gained the name after a photo of her went viral online. That also led to the debut of her modeling career as many agencies reached out to the strong, jaw-lined, shimmering, blue-eyed beauty.

Raudha was not only beautiful but also kind and intelligent. She followed her passion for helping people by enrolling in medical school in Bangladesh.

Raudha tried to fit in the very conservative Muslim country by also dressing in decent covering clothes along with a hijab.
